Mobile and Internet costs to go up for real on April Fools' Day


The VAT for telecommunication services will grow from 20 to 25%.

The rise in price will affect services of mobile operators and ISPs. The growth of tax will be compensated by subscribers. The relevant decree was signed by Alyaksandr Lukashenka.

“In the world practice, such sensitive areas as communications usually get benefits rather than additional tax levied against them. After all, communications contribute to the development of all other industries,” complains about the tax increase the company “Velcom”.

“MTS” also confirmed the rise in price of services. “Beltelecom” and several local providers placed on their websites information about the VAT increase.

The Decree 111 has retroactively (from March 1) raised by 3.1% the size of the minimum subsistence budget.
